Defense expects Rodgers to take the snap. EDS snaps it to Young. Defense poops. Touchdown.

As a center in that system ( . . . ).

What are you doing this fall? Maybe we don't need GVR.

We should honestly ask Palmy if he's willing to put the cleats back on.._________________

Don't really enjoy celebrating a grown man's release from a football team, it sucks being fired. I wish the best for Graham, but he just wasn't cut out for it. Hopefully he finds a new calling.

VY coming in to supplant your 2nd string QB is hardly an excuse for rejoicing in the streets, in my humble opinion. Harrell was an excellent college QB, who I'm sure they hoped could turn into a reliable game manager...just didn't have an NFL arm.

HARRELL!!1!1!!!!?

Well, they thought the same thing about Brohm. He didn't materialize either.

Vince Young got judged too quickly for a few episodes he had here.

I'm not assessing Young in a Packers uniform -- that would be unfair. It's more of a body-of-work thing...
I hope the staff here does whatever they did to Matt Flynn, to VY. If they can work some magic, he could be the best backup in the league. Will I hold my breath? Negatory.

I know it sucks for him right now and wish him well. Let's be real here though. Man got a MUCH better look than many and with less talent than most. Just sayin, sorry is not the word I would use._________________

I feel bad for the guy, but I think he'll land on his feet. By all accounts, he's a smart guy whose head and character was far and away ahead of his actual talent, and guys like that tend to make good coaches. I've heard he's interested in coaching actually, so if he doesn't get another NFL look (which is far from improbable) he could probably land a coaching intern gig at whatever level in short order.

Really happy with Vince moving forward as our backup... If god forbid something happens to rodgers, we would have to do an entirely different game plan. On paper, this sounds bad but i'm actually really happy with it because then the defenses are prepared for an entirely different game plan so they will be more lost then we are_________________

It would probably just be a simplified offense with some wrinkles thrown in. McCarthy's a smart guy. He will get production out of somebody as talented as VY. With VY though, I think he really gives you a chance to win some games if something were to happen to Rodgers. You can't coach talent into a player. Harrell just lacked the talent to play the position. He knew the offense very well but the offense was just to limited with him out there. He just didn't have an NFL arm.

Could not agree more with that post. Deeper than that though. Young is very much so the type of QB that can make things happen out there on low reps, and reps are harder and harder to come by as the season moves on. Even more so with the new CBA in hand. Let Mac work with those feet and this thing might work out for everyone both short and long term.

Could be a great long term backup if another shot is not out there for him as well. Young would be a great guy to have "in the room" and he can run Rodgers playbook._________________

Agree. VY seems like the type of player that if surrounded by the talent GB has at WR/TE/RB, you could scratch some plays in the dirt and he could make somethings happen in a pinch.

MM certainly needs to have a few things in the playbook in the "just in case" section if Rodgers goes down and VY is at the helm.
